Sir Thomas Malory (c. 1405 - 14 March 1471) was an English writer, the author or compiler of Le Morte d'Arthur. Most modern scholars, beginning with G.L. Kittredge in 1894, assume that he was Sir Thomas Malory of Newbold Revel in Warwickshire, who was a knight, land-owner and Member of Parliament. The name comes from the Old French adjective maleüré meaning ill-omened or unfortunate. As the prayers referring to the author relate, he lived in ill health and died in prison. If the Morte D'Arthur was really written in prison and by a prisoner distressed by ill health as well as by lack of liberty, surely no task was ever better devised to while away weary hours. Leaving abundant scope for originality in selection, modification, and arrangement, as a compilation and translation it had in it that mechanical element which adds the touch of restfulness to literary work. "Then all these things aforesaid alleged, I could not well deny but that there was such a noble king named Arthur, and reputed one of the nine worthy, and first and chief of the Christian men. And many noble volumes be made of him and of his noble knights in French, which I have seen and read beyond the sea, which be not had in our maternal tongue. But in Welsh be many and also in French, and some in English but nowhere nigh all. Wherefore, such as have late been drawn out briefly into English I have after the simple conning that God hath sent to me, under the favour and correction of all noble lords and gentlemen, enprised to imprint a book of the noble histories of the said King Arthur, and of certain of his knights, after a copy unto me delivered, which copy Sir Thomas Malorye did take out of certain books of French, and reduced it into English. And I, according to my copy, have done set it in imprint, to the intent that noble men may see and learn the noble acts of chivalry, the gentle and virtuous deeds that some knights used in those days, by which they came to honour, and how they that were vicious were punished and oft put to shame and rebuke; humbly beseeching all noble lords and ladies, with all other estates of what estate or degree they been of, that shall see and read in this said book and work, that they take the good and honest acts in their remembrance, and to follow the same. Wherein they shall find many joyous and pleasant histories, and noble and renowned acts of humanity, gentleness, and chivalry. For herein may be seen noble chivalry, courtesy, humanity, friendliness, hardiness, love, friendship, cowardice, murder, hate, virtue, and sin. Do after the good and leave the evil, and it shall bring you to good fame and renown."

King Arthur is a legendary British leader who, according to Medieval histories and romances, led the defense of Britain against Saxon invaders in the early sixth century. The details of Arthur's story are mainly composed of folklore and literary invention, and his historical existence is debated and disputed by modern historians. King Arthur himself to other characters, such as various Knights of the Round Table. Arthurian literature thrived during the Middle Ages but waned in the centuries that followed until it experienced a major resurgence in the 19th century. In the 21st century, the legend lives on, not only in literature but also in adaptations for theatre, film, television, comics and other media. The Sir James Knowles version of King Arthur is considered as the most accurate and well known original story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

El libro La muerte de Arturo (a veces publicado con el nombre Le Morte d'Arthur o Morte Darthur y aparecido en su primera publicación y en algunas ediciones modernas como La mort d'Arthur) es la versión de sir Thomas Malory sobre la historia del Rey Arturo y los Caballeros de la Mesa Redonda, basada en varias leyendas inglesas y francesas. Algunas partes del libro son material original de Malory, mientras que otras son las interpretaciones que Malory dio a historias anteriores

Chivalrous deed stories were among the most popular tales of five or six hundred years ago. Since printed books weren't around throughout the reigns of the first three King Edwards, these tales weren't described in any books. Arthur and his knights of the Round Table are by far the most well-liked figures in these early chivalric tales.The pursuit of the Holy Grail by Sir Galahad proves beyond all doubt that those with ""pure hearts"" are blessed because they will be able to perceive God, as the poet's ideal represented the essence of reality.The twelfth, thirteenth, and fourteenth centuries are when chivalry flourished most. Neither the German Nibelungen Lied nor the texts of the ancient Anglo-Saxons have any indication of its unusual concepts. The chivalrous customs and fantasies of the fourteenth century started to look silly, and subsequently, probably in part due to the mockery of the classic book ""Don Quixote,"" chivalry was laughed out of existence. Le Morte Darthur by Sir Thomas Malory is among the best of the older English classics. It was published in 1470, and Sir Thomas Caxton ensured its immortality fifteen years later. Generations of poets and authors have drawn inspiration from it continuously ever since.
